For children
The Shinka and Talmi methods offer a gentle, body-centered approach for children, helping improve posture, movement, breathing, and overall body balance. Through soft exercises and touch — without pressure or force — the body’s natural ability to self-regulate is strengthened. Parents are encouraged to participate actively, fostering a relationship of trust and observation. Each session is tailored to the child’s individual needs and readiness, without pressure or imposition.
1. Sessions for Children
Ideal for ages 8 to 12.
Offered in individual programs
With children, as with adults, the work is gentle and always respectful of the body’s individuality.
Every child is unique, and my experience has shown that the method can enhance their confidence, bring balance to their energy and vitality, and improve their connection with their body.
When needed, we use simple, easy-to-understand exercises together with the parents, so they can observe, participate, and contribute on a daily basis.
Shinka It is a correction of the hip joint’s position.
The method works with the body’s core, its axes, and deep balance. It is particularly effective for:
- when there is pain, discomfort, or imbalance in movement,
- when there is a postural distortion,
- when there are difficulties with digestion, sleep, or breathing.
- you can observe and understand imbalances from an early age
Talmi Το ChatGPT είπε: It is a method that awakens the body through touch and movement. It involves all the body’s structures — from the feet to the head — and invites the body into a new sense of freedom. It is particularly effective because:
- it is suitable both for group work between parent and child, as well as for individual sessions.
- it does not focus on the symptom but develops body awareness.
- it restores the ability to move, gently bringing back coordination and natural breathing.
2. Sessions for Children with Their Parents
Ideal for ages above 8.

An invitation – and a challenge – for parents: you can learn to help your children yourselves.

How We Work with Children and Parents
In practice, we create a space where children and parents can explore movement, sensations, and their inner world together. We begin with small group sessions in which the parent and child collaborate. This approach helps build trust and fosters an understanding of each individual’s unique needs.
Over time, individual sessions can take place upon request and with the consent of both the child and the parent. The parent may remain in the room, providing a sense of safety for the child. We respect each child’s inner rhythm and never rush the process. Trust and comfort are our top priorities.
Observations During the Process
We give the child time and space without expecting immediate results.
Talk with your child about how they feel after the sessions. This helps them develop emotional awareness and builds trust.
About the Group Programs
We work together in a small group of parents (up to 10 people) so that you can first experience this process yourself. After becoming familiar with the method, I show you how to apply simple movements and techniques to your children, offering them a unique experience through your own hands. This process not only strengthens your relationship with your child but also teaches you how to support their physical health and overall well-being.
